    A quote from Aaron's book: " many contempory anarchists tend to hold social relations as pre-eminent- as if they were distinct from ideas, daily life and work" This is one of the strangest claims I've ever come across about anarchism. I've never seen an anarchist do this- and how could they!? New social relations would necessarily include new ideas, form of daily life and work!

    The word "communism" has been dragged through the mud by poorly planned and corrupt implementations, and propaganda, so it is brave to make this argument with these words.
    That said, I've expericenced emergent communist societies and economies when playing multiplayer games (again, brave but honest wording, maybe you'd want to say "economic simulation" to get the boomer's ears to prick up) with my friends, so I know it can work, and it just seems to happen naturally when there is trust among the populace.
    I think the main challenge to wide-spread communism (or whatever we end up needing to call it) is to manage bad actors and to patch vulnerabilities.

      I'd rather live in the "Culture" series; especially if you see Discovery/Picard as canon. In Picard, they show a black woman who lives in a run down Shack (on Earth), and she bitches at Picard as Picard has a fine chataeu, with luxury furniture. Of course this is just the shows terrible writing and an adolescent attempt to appear "current"; but the point of "FALC" is that the society is post-scarcity to an extent where everyone can have luxury furniture. If you can replicate objects out of nowhere, why is this black woman poor?
      In Star Trek you still have spaceships even the Enterprise D, where you have to share rooms. Aboard a culture ship you even get a tropical island to visit above decks. Most people live on orbitals so there is no overcrowding, nobody has to work, and people can pretty much do what they want with their lives.
      I mean who wouldn't want to live in a place like that?? would you rather live on present day Earth?
      It's just sad it'll be another few hundred years before we get anything like Star Trek, let alone the Culture... We would need much, much better AI in order to get our robots to produce all of our goods, let alone set up a new fair economic system. We'd need beyond a Strong AI, and then you run into problems if it decides to kill everyone. At the moment our AI is so bad, we can't even produce a robot vacuum that can handle cables properly

    The second law of thermodynamics may be empty denial of
    perpetually changeable energy without gain or loss.
    Our understanding of thermodynamics had a distinct begining with Sir Isaac Newton's correct professional scientific observation that the heat of a fire in a fireplace always flows towards the cold room beyond. Heat never flows spontaneously from cold to hot.
    Victorian England became enchanted with steam engines and their cheap, reliable, and easy to position physical power. Scientists of the era with wide cultural support formulated the second law of thermodynamics using evidence from steam engine development.
    The law's formulaters considered with acceptance [A+] Inefficiently harnessing the flow of heat from hot to cold or [B+] Using force to Inefficiently pump heat from cold to hot. They considered with rejection [A-] Waiting for random fluctuation to cause a large difference in temperature or pressure. This was calculated to be extremely rare or [B-] Searching for and selecting for use, random, frequent and small differences in temperature or pressure. The search and selection would require more energy than the use would yield. These accepted options, lead to the consequence that the universe will end in stagnant heat death. This became support for a theological trend of the time that placed God as the initiator of a degenerating universe. Please consider that God could also be supreme over an energy abundant civilization that can absorb heat and convert it into electricity without energy gain or loss in a sustained universe.
    The law's formulaters did not consider the option that any random, usually small, fluctuation of heat or pressure could use the energy of these fluctuations itself to deterministically select differental treatment so the output is no longer random. Then the net power of many small fluctuations from many replicant parts can be aggregated into a large difference in temperature, pressure, or electricity's amperes and volts
    Heat exists as the randomly directed kinetic energy of gas molecules or mobile electrons. In gasses this is known as Brownian motion, in electronic systems this is carefully labeled Johnson Nyquist thermal electrical noise. Hypothetically, diode depletion regions are practical sites for enabling mobile electrons energized into motion by thermal electrical noise to deterministically alter the electrical resistance of the depletion region according to the moment by moment direction they are carrying electricity. The thermal electrical noise is hypothetically beyond the exposed lattice charge / diffusion equlibrium thickness of the depletion region.
    Consistantly oriented diodes in parallel hypothetically are successful electrical Maxwell's Demons or Smoluchowski's Trapdoors. The energy needed to shift the depletion region's deterministic role is paid as a burden on the moving electrons. There would therefore be usable net rectified power from each and every diode connected together into a consistantly oriented parallel group. The group would aggregate the net power of its members. Any diode efficiency at all produces some energy conversion from ambient heat, more efficiency yields higher performance. A diode array that is switched off has no energy conversion and no performance.
    The power from a single diode is poorly expressed. Several or more diodes in parallel are needed to overcome the effect of a load resistor's own thermal noise. A plurality of billions of high frequency capable diodes is needed for practical power aggregation. For reference, there are a hundread billion1000 square nanometer cells per square centimeter.
    Modern nanofabrication can make simple identical diodes surrounded by insulation smaller than this in a slab as thick as the diodes are long. The diodes are connected at their two ends to two conductive layers.
    Zero to ~2 THz is the maximum thermal electrical noise frequency bandwidth available in nature. This is beyond the range of most diodes. Practicality requires this extreme bandwidth. The diodes are preferably in same orientation parallel at the primary level. Many primary level groups of diodes should be in series for practical voltage.
    Ever since the supposedly universal second law of thermodynamics was formulated, education has mass produced and spread the conventional wisdom throughout society that the second law of thermodynamics is fundamental.
    If counterexamples invalidated the second law of thermodynamics civilization would learn it could have perpetually convertable conserved energy which is the form of free energy where energy is borrowed from the massive heat reservoir of our sun warmed planet and converted into electricity anywhere, anytime with slight variations. Electricity produces heat when used by electric heaters, motors, or ligts so the energy borrowed by these devices is promply returned without gain or loss. There is also the reverse effect where refrigeration produces electricity equivalent to the cooling, This effect is scientifically elegant.
    Cell phones wouldn't die or need power cords or batteries or become hot. They would cool when transmitting radio signal power. The phones could also be data relays and there could also be data relays without phone features with and without long haul links so the telecommunication network would be very good and adaptible. Computers and integrated circuits would have their cooling and electrical needs supplied autonomously and simultaniously. Integrated circuits wouldn't need power pinouts. Robots would have extreme mobility.
    Frozen food storage would be reliable and free or value positive. That means storehouses, homes, and markets would have independent power to preserve and pŕepare food. Vehicles wouldn't need fuel or fueling stops. Elevators would be very reliable with independent power. Decentralized shielded power would be EMP resistant.Water and sewage pumps could be installed anywhere along their pipes. Nomads could raise their material supports item by item carefully and groups of people could modify their settlements with great technical flexibility. Many devices would be very quiet, which is good for coexisting with nature and does not disturb people.
    Zone refining would involve little net power. Reducing Bauxite to Aluminum, Rutile to Titanium, and Magnetite to Iron, would have a net cooling effect. With enough clean cheap power, minerals could be finely pulverized, and H2O, CO2, and other substance levels in the biosphere could be modified. There should be a unitary agency to look after our global planetary concerns.
    This is a material revolution with spiritual ramifications. Everyone should contribute individual talents and fruits of different experiances and cultures to advancing a cooperative, diverse, harmonious and unified civilization. It is possible to apply technlology wrong but social force should oppose this.
    Inventive concepts that are widely published become unpatentabe. A public incorruptable archive could secure attrbution for the original works of creators. Uncorrupted copies would be releaseed on request. No further action would be taken by this institution.
    Many financially and procedurally independent teams that pool developmental knowlege, and may be funded by many separate noncontrolling crowd sourced grants should convene themselves to develop proof-of-concept and initial-recipe-exploring prototypes to develop devices which coproduce the release of electrical energy and an equivalent absorbtion of stagnant ambient thermal energy. Diode arrays are not the only possible device of this sort. They are the easiest to explain here.
    These devices would probably become segmented commodities sold with minimal margin over supply cost. They would be manufactured by AI that does not need financial incentive. Applicable best practices would be adopted. Business details would be open public knowledge. Associated people should move as negotiated and freely and honestly talk. There is no need of wealth extracting top commanders. We do not need often token philanthropy from the wealthy if people simply can be more generous if consumer commodities are inexpensive.
    Industry, government, commercial science, academia, finance, and the military are not configured to develop this easily. There may be "Murder on the Orient Express" style suppression of perpetually convertable conserved energy.

      @@Persian_Rug_Merchant No idea. I was never a huge fan to be fair.
      Someone somewhere else once explained it with toilet paper.
      "If you go backpacking in a country with less together supply-chains than the West, then you need to carry your own toilet paper with you. In the West you can pretty much rely on it being there - if your place needs it you buy some more, if you're anywhere else you can pretty much rely on someone else doing the same thing... from each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs. Nobody keeps the score on how many sheets are being used by who".
      So as far as I can gather, Star Trek is like that - but with everything... but it's a military context, so it's still massively hierarchical, and human self-expression has been reduced to something like zero. Androidal.
      Personally I think we should be optimising for diversity of self-expression, and that level of hierarchy might be useful in a war situation, but outside that it just creates corruption... so it needs to be democratised or something. Or run by a benevolent AI, which is (somehow) democratically accountable/steerable.

      @Bobby Brennan dear Bobby
      you are naive and seem to have fallen for the usual propaganda.
      the history of soros and the Bank of England is officially recorded.
      there are documentaries where soros talks about what he did with the nazis and he said he was not ashamed nor would he apologise.
      there were many Jews working with nazis. There were regiments (I can’t recall the strength so regiment is a placeholder here) of soldiers who were Jews.
      sorry to break the illusion, but yes, the nazi were socialist.
      I came to that conclusion years ago because I discovered that many things I was being told at school were not correct.
      However there is a great presentation on this by tikhistory
      I have spent decades interested in politics and such matters. It is not for me to dig through research to present for you; it is for you to do that research rather than simply take on good faith the propaganda from the usual sources.

      Watch tikhistory he has a 4hour presentation on the nazis. Why would I attempt to tap out snippets here, that no doubt you would disagree with via a bias? I gave you that suggestion, so you’ve lost your bet there already.
      I suspect that your understanding of nazi being facist is not correct, but again, telling you that you have been misled is like telling a devout Christian that god does not exist: it elicits a tantrum.
      again, go and watch some informed videos or read some informed books that also provide references. The info is out there, look for it rather that ask me to provide you with it all .
      their view on human nature? Do you mean the ubermench? The aryrian? The fitness of the disabled and others?
      well all can be found well before the nazis. Via the Fabian society and the eugenics society.
      I also suggest you examine the nuance of the meaning of state in socialism .
      you can google soros and Bank of England and find reasonable articles on how he broke the Bank of England ( and later others btw)
      you can google and find the interview with soros talking about his experiences with nazis. Although he denies being active in taking property form Jews, he also states that if it wasn’t him, it would’ve been someone else anyway - giving away his sociopathy
      you refute nothing by accusing me of not providing you with each and every detail. You merely seem like you don’t want to find it.

    I dont see how power hungry machines replacing labour is any good for the planet and CO2 emissions. And I dont understand how we transition from a capitalist model to a everything is free model. I dont think everything would be free even the company with their machine workforce will at some point need to upgrade those robots, maintain those robots, buy new robots to perform new specialised function, costly breakdown repairs of those robots. So whatever product they are producing would need to generate enough capital to absorb those costs, bare minimum. But then to be honest I dont think we would reach the utopia where EVERYTHING was automated and labour almost irrelevant. More than likely what we would see is labour being automated job losses, those people becoming extremely impoverished not being able to find new work as very little or fewer jobs exist, and then those people would probably die out, not able to feed themselves, shelter themselves etc. All whilst the increased automation of labour give the 1% of the most wealthy capitalists a robot workforce they can exploit without arguments over pay for maximum capital gains. Theres no magic switch that instantly reverts all of society to this new labourless model. So I dont think it works, I see the working class dying of malnourishment, exposure, sickness, even suicide why prolong an existence without meaning, suffering and nothing to look forward to or the shame of not being able to provide for your family or alternatively feeling like a burden etc.

Fortunately for me I am an electrical design engineer so I should be fine in this technological utopia. But I am not really thinking exclusively about myself.

      @@Charles-pf7zy probably because post scarcity, the clue is in the name, there wont be enough raw materials to make anything. But this video doesnt discuss post scarcity, its discussing the uber efficient mega production robots doing all of the production 24/7, so this is not discussing post scarcity society, its actually discussing the exact opposite. Only labour wont be needed, so normal working class people wont have a job or enough money to buy anything, even if the mega production robots make "things" cheaper by producing a lot more than regular humans could produce you still need a job and money to buy cheap things, although its doubtful the mega production robots would make anything cheaper, its supply and demand, if people cannot afford to buy cheap things then there is really no point in your mega producing robots making as much, the laws of economics still apply. So you'd slow your robot workforce down to "just about" meet the demand, that way you dont tank the price of your products, there other reasons too when it comes to warranties on products, or in the food industry why make so much of food that will just go bad if the demands not there to gobble it up... nothing has ever gotten cheaper, we shipped a lot of industry to exploitative labour in China and prices still rise.
